Tribute To Connie Marcum-Wong


We'll miss your presence, Connie dear
the special kindness you have shown-
and now we're feeling quite alone.

We'll miss your poems, that is clear-
the time you took to reading ours-
your comments rating full five stars!

Your thoughtful words were so sincere,
and full of hope in your sweet way-
for us a gracious word bouquet.

Too soon, such sad news did appear! 
Your husband, son- from life did pass.
Though crushed, your courage did amass.

Now, of your passing, we must hear!
Your restored health took a bad turn-
such unexpected news to learn!

We'll miss your presence, Connie, dear-
We'll miss your poems, that is clear.
Your thoughtful words were so sincere.
Too soon, such sad news did appear! 
Now, of your passing, we must hear!

Congratulations on your POTD, Sandra. It was very thoughtful of you to give tribute to an eloquent poet, Connie Marcum Wong, in the poetry form she created. The Constanza is a flowing form of poetry with the power of repetition in the final stanza. I'm sure she is smiling as she reads this poem with her husband and son. Smiles and Blessing Bill
